{"product_id":"anderson-verawood-cleaver-185mm","title":"Anderson Verawood Cleaver 185mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this pre-owned, never-used, like-new piece, bladesmith Nick Anderson delivers his rendition of a Chinese cleaver in unique and magnificent style, forging high-performance AEB-L stainless steel into a 185mm long by 87mm tall blade. Silky, hand-sanded bevels feature compound S-grind geometry: thin at the edge, convex above for strength, and immediately concave beginning at the half-inch mark for food release and balance. Just beneath the nicely faceted, slightly tapered spine, forge-finished flats lead into the wide forged tang and into the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it is this handle that we especially cannot get enough of. The predominant material is verawood, the Argentinian cousin to lignum vitae, known as the Tree of Life — two species that produce some of the densest hardwoods on the planet. In an octagonal form with rounded edges, the wood meets, at either end, shibuichi that Nick has painstakingly cast by hand using the traditional Japanese approach to working with this copper alloy. At the rear, a domed and hammered carbon steel retention nut cap. At the front, on the left side of the ferrule, the crown of the piece: a fine silver inlay, a phoenix rising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA knife that gives the power to soar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54451733463315,"sku":"PRE-HCK60","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/nick-anderson-anderson-verawood-cleaver-185mm-1250196656.jpg?v=1786744693","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/anderson-verawood-cleaver-185mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
